Been making progress on my new #UE5 'Asset Showcase Tool'! Join my tools mailing list to hear when it launches 👉buff.ly/i1jZ6pc Added a new Quick Showcase tab Here you can just get a nice-looking result in a couple of clicks, no need to tweak lots of settings The tool still has a bunch of advanced layout options, but Quick Showcase tab gives you a set of preset layouts to get you there much faster In the video, I'm switching between grid, radial rings and single row layouts, complete with labels and framing shapes. Having a lot of fun building this tool! #UnrealEngine #GameDev #IndieDev

In my spare time, I've been building a new #UE5 'Asset Showcase Tool' The goal is to arrange your assets into clean, good-looking layouts in just a couple of clicks Join my tools mailing list to hear when it launches 👉 buff.ly/i1jZ6pc It's still a work in progress, but it's really been starting to come together recently I think it'll be useful for: 🔸 Creating asset zoos to compare assets side by side 🔸 Quickly capturing marketing screenshots #UnrealEngine | #GameDev | #IndieDev

Just updated my 'Project Optimise Tool' for #UE5.8 Had a few small things to fix for the new engine, but it's now fully tested and working nicely Check it out here 👇 buff.ly/qVcotiI It scans your project's content to surface bugs, optimisation opportunities and inconsistent naming conventions. #UnrealEngine #GameDev #IndieDev

Having fun making progress on my #UE5 Asset Showcase Tool! Added a new Quick Showcase mode to help present assets in a couple of clicks Follow my tools newsletter to get notified when it launches 👉buff.ly/81xFKOm I've currently set up presets for: 🔸Marketplace Grid 🔸Hero Asset Turntable 🔸Character Lineups 🔸Material Showcase 🔸Scattered Scene 🔸Animation showcase You can also quickly toggle: 🔹 Asset Labels 🔹 Frame Shapes 🔹 Showcase Camera The idea is to let people get a good-looking result fast. Then, if you want more control and customisation you can jump into the 'Asset Layout' and 'Scene Tools' tabs Originally, I hadn't planned to add Quick Showcase tab, but once the tool started coming together, I realised a lot of people would benefit from an even faster "few clicks, and you're done" workflow. Still plenty left to do, but I'm having fun and making progress! Let me know if there are any showcase layouts or asset types you'd like to see supported? #UnrealEngine | #GameDev | #IndieDev

My goal is still to make showcasing #UnrealEngine assets quick, easy, and fun! #GameDev | #IndieDev
